Meta’s new Ray-Ban Display, the company’s first pair of smart glasses with a screen, raises questions about functionality and integration, particularly with Apple’s iOS.

6 Key Takeaways

  2. Integration with Apple’s Messages app is limited.
  3. Users can only respond via WhatsApp or Messenger.
  4. Meta’s CTO Andrew “Boz” Bosworth discussed messaging limitations.

Fast Answer: Meta’s Ray-Ban Display lacks integration with Apple’s Messages app.

Messaging is a major appeal of smart glasses, allowing users to quickly see and respond to messages. However, integration issues with Apple’s Messages app mean users cannot listen to and respond to text messages on Meta’s smart glasses unless using WhatsApp.

Meta’s CTO, Andrew “Boz” Bosworth, stated that currently, only Messenger and WhatsApp are supported. He encouraged users to ask Apple for better permissions and access for integration.

“Right now it’s Messenger and WhatsApp, which obviously are, incredibly popular global messaging platforms. We’d love to expand and do more… So, you know, tell your friendly neighborhood Apple employee to build the right permissions and access.”

— Andrew “Boz” Bosworth, CTO of Meta

Under Investigation: Meta’s claims about messaging capabilities may not align with actual functionality.

Current Ray-Ban models without a display also lack the ability to read and reply to messages on iOS or Android, suggesting that the new Meta Ray-Ban Display may face similar limitations.
